Our honey season is officially over and we’ve got the results of the whole year in one photo. We harvest honey on a weekly, running basis, so every week and location pretty much gets its own batch. A batch is usually somewhere between 30-70 lbs of honey, and I keep …
I love doing this in the beginning half of the year to see how the colors (and flavors) shift and change as time goes on. While there are very subtle color and flavor shifts in the early part of the season, it’s that dramatic jump from the pale yellow to …

Long time, no blog! Well, we’re already jumped forward to spring of 2022! The bees are gearing up for summer, increasing their population size and they’re already starting to stack away some nectar which means they’re collecting more than they’re using to generate brood right now.

Our final two batches of honey are available for purchase either online for local delivery in the 19460 or at a variety of local markets. First up, Batch J! Available in two sizes – a 12 oz jar and a 16 oz jar, measured by weight, both glass jars. A …
